Tangy Potato-Avocado Salad

"This recipe is from the local newspaper. It says that it is a recipe adapted from one from the Ca. Avocado Commission. Its a wonderful recipe, that is heart healthy, and lighter because the wonderful tangy dressing substitutes for mayo in most salads such as this. Lots of wonderful flavors, textures, and colors!"

  1. We really enjoyed this. My husband made it to take to a cookout. It is definately TANGY, i think mainly due to the yogurt which is so different than using mayo for potato salad. It got rave reviews with many people asking for the recipe. we will definately have this again (and again!)
     
  2. this is a nice tangy potato salad. i used red onions for color along with a vidalia.i refrigerated this overnight to give the flavors a chance to blend and served this with burritos
     
  3. This was very good and quite easy to make. I found it more sweet than tangy, but that is just me. Just not sure what it would "go" with.
     
  4. I really enjoyed this potato salad. I especially liked the dressing without all the mayo that you usually have in potato salads. I will definitely make it again. The avocado was a little different in the salad, but I think I liked it. I may try it without next time.
     
  5. I particularly liked this potato salad because it was tangy and fresh tasting. I used a red onion in mine because that is what I had and used baby chat potatoes cut in half, also because that is what I had, not that they would alter the taste at all. Will make this again for sure.
